34 adult websites under UK regulator's scanner, here's what they need to do under the country's new Safety Act
The UK's media regulator Ofcom launched formal investigations into four companies operating 34 pornography websites for allegedly failing to implement mandatory age verification systems designed to protect children from accessing adult content online. The companies under investigation – 8579 LLC, AVS Group Ltd, Kick Online Entertainment S.A., and Trendio Ltd – collectively attract over 9 million monthly UK visitors across their platforms. Ofcom prioritized these firms based on their user numbers and potential risk of harm to minors. The investigations mark the first major enforcement action since age verification requirements took effect July 25 under the UK's Online Safety Act. The legislation requires pornography sites to use "highly effective" age assurance methods to prevent children from stumbling across adult material. Pornography sites could face revenue-based fines if failed to implement age verification by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like When Knee Pain Hits, Start Eating These Foods, and Feel Your Pain Go Away (It's Genius) Read More Undo Ofcom possesses significant enforcement powers, including fines up to £18 million or 10% of a company's worldwide revenue, whichever is greater. In extreme cases, the regulator can seek court orders to block non-compliant sites or require payment providers and advertisers to withdraw services. The investigations add to Ofcom's existing 11 probes into platforms including 4chan, suicide forums, and file-sharing services. Meanwhile, sites like Pornhub have pledged compliance with the stricter requirements. The regulator expects to announce additional enforcement actions in coming weeks as it continues monitoring compliance across thousands of affected websites. VPN usage surges as sites face scrutiny from government Since the new rules launched, the UK has experienced a dramatic spike in virtual private network usage, with four of the top five free apps on Apple's App Store being VPN services. Proton, the most popular VPN app, reported an 1,800% increase in downloads as users seek to bypass geographical restrictions. The Age Verification Providers Association reported an additional 5 million daily age checks across UK platforms since Friday, representing a massive increase from previous tick-box verification methods. Major sites like Pornhub have pledged compliance with the stricter requirements. More than 400,000 people have signed a petition calling for the Online Safety Act's repeal, citing privacy concerns and potential overreach, though the government maintains no plans to withdraw the legislation.

Small seizure leads Punjab cops to 70k Tramadol tabs, 7L drug money, 6 arrests
1 2 3 Amristar: A minor seizure of 35 tablets of the habit-forming drug Tramadol has led Punjab Police to a pharmaceutical drug racket originating from six factories in Haridwar, Uttarakhand, and seizure of 70,000 Tramadol tablets, Rs 7.25 lakh in drugs proceeds and 325kg of salts used to create the tablet, said Punjab director general of police Gaurav Yadav on Thursday. Amritsar police commissioner Gurpreet Singh Bhullar said police had also arrested six persons, who include chemists, distributors, and the plant head of Haridwar-based pharma company, Lucent Biotech. Bhullar said in the initial seizure, police had found that the strips of Tramadol tablets had a special disclaimer, which read 'Govt Supply Only – Not for Sale', suggesting illegal diversion of medical stock intended for public institutions. "Several pharmaceutical units found flouting regulations have been sealed, and their records are being thoroughly examined. Authorities have launched a deeper investigation into the supply chain and regulatory lapses, with more arrests and action likely in the coming days," Bhullar added. In a statement on X, the DGP called the bust "a major big blow" to the illegal pharma-opioid supply network In related news, BSF troops and Punjab Police seized two drones, pistol parts and ammunition in Tarn Taran and Ferozepur districts.
